In all seriousness though, Kanye did actually give us some insight to what he'd be like as a president. Offering up his views on class and race, Kanye shared a vision of a society in which everyone can be whoever they want to be. "I want everyone to win.

The interview also saw Kanye tackling some other pretty big topics, like sexism, celebrity, and why he's the greatest.

"I definitely think generally rap is misogynistic," hee said in response to a question on sexist lyrics. "Not that that's justifying the culture."

Kanye can actually be pretty smart, once you get past all the leather jogging bottoms comments. In short: Yeezy for president.
